Do mages really need 3 competitive PvE specs?

I'd actually say mages are unique in this respect, the mage class seems to be the only pure class that tends to have a major shift in spec's every patch.

Basically if Fire is top even by 500 dps, then you will most likely see very few arcane mages, the same's true if Arcane gets a buff, whereas in other classes, even pure's you will see Destruction Warlocks playing Destro because they like Destro, or Assassination Rogues, MM Hunters etc okay you may not see many Sub / BM spec's around but apart from that there tends to be a split in spec's

Which is why I find the mage weird, because we tend not to, right now in my 25 man we have 5 mages (way too many, I know) All of them were fire pre 4.3.2, and now fire has been nerf'd slightly 3 of them have gone arcane, and I personally am most likely going to swap to it in the next week or so. (The other mage isn't even playing at the moment)
